Hari Nef

An
actress, a model, writer and activist. Unlike many of her modelling
contemporaries Hari Nef embraces her differences, but doesn’t define
herself on modelling alone. Through listening to her interview with Jay
Buim for Oh Boy, a podcast presented by Man Repeller, I realised having
so many different and varied roles isn’t as glamorous as it might seem.
What did become apparent was a strong work ethic, speaking passionately
about her appearance on the second season of Transparent, an original TV
series by Amazon Prime, which hit screens in 2015. Before that Hari Nef
made her runway debut walking at New York Fashion Week cast by Hood By
Air and Eckhaus Latta for their Spring 2015 collections. She’s since
graced the catwalk for Gucci, and more recently appeared alongside
photographer Petra Collins and actress Dakota Johnson for Alessandro
Michele’s first Gucci fragrance, Bloom. Her written work has been
featured by publications like Dazed, Vice, Blackbook and Original
Plumbing. Despite what is by all means an impressive CV, there is a
certain pressure when you don’t know when you’ll next get work
(something which I strongly relate to, and circumstances which can
affect any of us). She’s a determined, and incredibly intelligent woman
who is sure to go on to do great things.
